An energy absorbing device for subway vehicle includes a movable anti-climber, a fixed anti-climber, an energy absorbing honeycomb, at least one collapse tube, two sliding-groove assemblies and two guide sliding rails. As the first stage energy absorbing unit of the total structure, the energy absorbing honeycomb directly bears the collision impact transferred from the movable anti-climber. Through the deformation of the energy absorbing honeycomb itself under pressure, the collision kinetic energy transfers into internal energy of deformation and heat, thus realizing the energy absorbing buffering. As the second stage energy absorbing buffering unit, the at least one collapse tube further absorbs the collision energy, thus further buffering and protecting the underframe of the vehicle body, as well as ensuring that the impact energy performs a multistage and serial operation according to a predetermined direction and sequence, thereby ensuring the reliability of operation of the energy absorbing device.

The invention relates to a device (1) for the horizontal re-centering of a coupling shaft, particularly a central buffer coupling of a track-guided vehicle, wherein the device (1) comprises a first rotating body (3) and a second rotating body (4) which is rotatable relative to the first rotating body (3), wherein the device (1) is designed to produce the force necessary to generate a restoring torque acting on the coupling shaft by the rotating of the two rotating bodies (3, 4) relative to each other.

According to a railcar, a fuse member that couples a first end beam to a second end beam along a car longitudinal direction is formed as a channel material with an approximately U-shaped cross-section, including a web disposed to extend along the car longitudinal direction and a pair of flanges disposed upright from both end portions of this web. Accordingly, when a load received in collision exceeds a predetermined value, the fuse member buckles to allow the first end beam to move toward the second end beam to ensure reducing variation of the load that allows the first end beam to move toward the second end beam. Consequently, when the intended load is input, the first end beam is allowed to move toward the second end beam.

The invention relates to a head module for a rail vehicle, said head module being suitable to be detachably fixed to the front face of a subsequent railcar unit without additional underframe. The head module consists of an inner and an outer shell and includes three systems which convert, in the event of a crash, the collision energy into a deformation one after the other or simultaneously and substantially independently of another.

The application relates to a crash system for the head module of a rail vehicle, said head module being detachably fixed to the front face of a subsequent railcar unit without additional underframe. The crash system has a crash conduction element that carries a crash box at its front end and the back end of which is fixed to the underframe support of the subsequent railcar unit. In the event of a crash, crash forces are thus absorbed by the underframe of the subsequent railcar unit.
